Chapter 1598 – Meeting

　　”What, are there any trading places in the side halls? Doesn’t this place hold auctions?” Han Li was a bit surprised to hear this.

　　”Fellow Daoist Han doesn’t know anymore. Since we’re bidding on things, we definitely need a large amount of spirit stones. And quite a few fellow Daoists like to take out some of the rare materials accumulated in their hands in exchange for spirit stones only before the auction is held. Therefore, every sector of the four tribes before the auction, will first empty a period of time, so that some friends of the road first trade with each other, or in exchange for spirit stones, or in exchange for other required items. If the hands of the thing really can not be sold, then, can also be sold directly to the auction hall, they will also buy. However, the price is definitely lower than the normal price. But the only advantage, is that there are four big clans in the back support, and then rare things will not lack of spirit stone acquisition. As for the side halls on both sides of the main hall, one is specialized in acquiring items, while one is for selling things.” Tie Jian explained twice.

　　”Acquiring things?” Han Li’s heart stirred a bit.

　　”Why, does brother Han also have treasures in his hands that he wants to sell. However, it’s recommended that Brother Han first go and look at the place where things are sold before looking at the side hall where items are acquired. In case the item in your hand can be exchanged for something you need, that would be the best.” The big bald man said with a nod.

　　”Hmm, there’s some truth in what Fellow Daoist said. Mister Han will just go over and take a look first.” Han Li nodded in agreement.

　　”In that case, fellow Daoist go over together. If we’re lucky, we might really be able to gain something.” When Tie Jian heard Han Li say so, a happy look appeared on his face, and he then led Han Li straight to the entrance on the right side to go over first.

　　The several blue-robed guards guarding the entrance only swept their eyes over Tie Jian and Han Li, and let them in without questioning them at all.

　　”This Four Clans Auction is only meant to enhance Cloud City’s popularity and reputation, so as long as one has the status of a Upper Clan or above, they can participate as they please. Therefore, the people who participate in this auction have varying cultivation statuses and are extremely disparate. But also for this reason, the number of people attracted to participate in this auction each year is far from the several other major auctions in the Heavenly Clouds.” Tie Jian said with Han Li with a smile the moment he and Han Li walked through the side door.

　　”All of the upper clans can participate in this auction, and this place can accommodate so many people?” Han Li frowned, looking somewhat less than convinced.

　　No wonder Han Li would say so, the existence of the Upper Clan in Cloud City was definitely in the hundreds of thousands. And even though the large hall in front of him wasn’t small, there was no way it could accommodate so many people at once.

　　”Heh heh, the reason for this is that you, Dao Friend, will be able to know for yourself right away, and there’s no need for Mister Iron to explain anything at all.” Hearing Han Li ask this question, Tie Jian said with a hint of mystery.

　　Han Li’s complexion twitched at these words, and his gaze couldn’t help but look forward.

　　It was only at this moment that he realized that he had been at the entrance for a little too long, and after walking for such a short while, he had yet to walk into the side hall.

　　Not right! Hidden white light in front of the exit, just now when they are not far away from the appearance. How to walk so a while later, it still looks like not even the slightest bit close to the look.

　　Han Li’s face appeared a trace of surprise.

　　”The art of space!” Han Li muttered with a grave expression.

　　”Haha, Fellow Daoist Han has finally noticed. This auction hall, in fact, is itself a superb magic treasure that can freely zoom in and out, and also carries a certain amount of spatial aptitude in itself. The space inside the hall is more than ten times as large as what you can see outside, enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people and still more than enough.” Tie Jian said with a smile.

　　”So that’s how it is. No wonder that circle at the top of the building looks so bizarre.” Han Li revealed a thoughtful look.

　　”Although this entrance requires a bit more of a walk because of the spatial influence, it’s not really that long. We should be able to get out of here in no time.” Tie Jian touched his smooth head with his large hand and said with confidence.

　　Han Li merely nodded and didn’t interface anything further.

　　Sure enough, as Tie Jian said, they walked for a few moments longer, and the exit in front of them suddenly flickered down, closing the distance between them at once.

　　The two easily out of the entrance, came to a wide and unusual square. This place is lively and unusual, even as if the downtown neighborhood general people come and go.

　　In the square around, one after another semi-circular light curtain, densely arranged, many cultivators from these light curtains in and out.

　　While at the center of the square, there was a white jade stone platform with an ordinary wooden table on it. There were two clear-eyed green-clothed boys, who were handing out something to the several foreigners in front of the table.

　　Han Li was watching intently, but Tie Jian turned his head and clasped his fist, saying:

　　”Fellow Daoist Han, let’s part ways here. I’m going to look for a few suitable sellers so that I can get rid of the treasures in my hands as soon as possible, so I won’t be accompanying you as you stroll on.”

　　”If fellow Daoist has something to do, feel free to get busy. I also want to take a look around alone.” Han Li smiled faintly and politely returned.

　　”Then Brother Han take care!” After arching his hand once more, Tie Jian walked towards the edge of a certain direction in a huff.

　　Han Li looked at the big man’s back, his gaze flickering for a few moments before he surveyed the jade platform at the center for a few more moments and suddenly walked over. After a moment’s work, he walked over to the vicinity of the platform.

　　And at this time, several more people walked onto the stage.

　　But at this moment, Han Li could finally see clearly.

　　Those foreigners who came onto the stage, after each of them handed over a bag of high-grade spirit stones to the two young men, they were able to receive a small streamer of different colors from their hands.

　　Han Li’s gaze along with one of them stared at not letting go, and realized that after that person walked to the edge of the square where no one was, he waved the small streamer a few times, and a layer of semi-circular light curtains sprung up, completely concealing his figure underneath it.

　　Han Li probed with his mind, and as soon as his mind touched the light screen, it was blocked by a layer of restrictions, and he was unable to dip into it quietly.

　　Obviously these light curtains, is specifically used to let the square cultivators trading premises.

　　In this way, there is no need to worry about their own hidden secrets were peeped into by others.

　　Han Li to the surrounding sweep, see the eyes of the place, are light curtain flickering. And further away from the square he was in, there were even a few slightly smaller squares occupying there, seemingly equally bustling.

　　Han Li let out a long breath and immediately shook his head.

　　Even if there were treasures, with so many people trying to find a suitable buyer, it would definitely be like finding a needle in a haystack. He wouldn’t waste too much time here.

　　If he also wanted to plot that Ten Thousand Miraculous Pill, he would have to raise a large amount of spirit stones before the auction.

　　With this in mind, Han Li began to walk along the edge of the plaza without moving. But most of the time are just outside to look on two eyes only, only occasionally will walk into one or two light curtains, and quickly walked out.

　　When a quarter of an hour passed, Han Li still did not have any gains, immediately after a frown, decisively turned around, even according to the original way back to the entrance.

　　I don’t know whether it’s a coincidence, or Han Li intentionally, he stepped into the entrance again, just when the entire entrance happened to be only one person.

　　Han Li while walking, while the sleeve robe suddenly shook, a piece of black gauze then appeared.

　　Then “bang” a light sound, a light black fog, Han Li will be trapped in it, so that the figure becomes blurred abnormally.

　　But almost the next moment, the black fog in a flash of light, the fog suddenly tumbled down, turned into a dark shiny robe, draped in Han Li.

　　At this time, Han Li half lowered his head and emerged from the mist.

　　His breath became hidden and strangely faint for a moment. But when he raised his head again, what was revealed was actually a pale, unfamiliar face.

　　Han Li in a split second of work, a change of clothing and appearance to.

　　Without moving, Han Li unhurriedly walked out of the entrance, and a few foreigners who entered the inside, just rubbing shoulders.

　　The blue-robed guards guarding the outside just swept a glance at Han Li when he came out, and then did not make any unusual moves.

　　Han Li swaggered into the side hall on the other side.

　　Again, there was a small square, but the situation inside left Han Li slightly stunned.

　　Unlike the sale of goods, although the number of people here is also quite a lot, but all gathered in the small half of the square.

　　There, towering a block of about ten feet high green stone wall, above flashing a silver text, those foreign cultivators are surrounded by these stone walls, a different look gazed at.

　　In these stone walls a little behind the place, but a dozen connected, surrounded by a several-storey high attic jade house.

　　Each one is crystal clear, snow white abnormal.

　　But the door of these houses, but the white light flashes, was a light haze cover, vaguely all wide open.

　　And the center of the attic, red, was a layer of light green smoke shrouded in which, and vaguely have aroma issued, as if it is not earthly things in general.

　　Those who surrounded the stone wall to watch, from time to time, some people walked into those jade house. But after coming out, some people look uncertain, some people are frustrated and depressed, and some are very excited.

　　After Han Li saw clearly the situation here, no longer hesitate to walk toward a stone wall.

　　But at this time, nearby another stone wall, a slim silhouette suddenly turned back, the same change of target in the same direction.

　　Han Li’s eyes subconsciously swept toward the silhouette, his body shook, no longer able to control his face suddenly changed.

　　This woman has a head of long black hair, wearing a blue robe, face pretty, but the expression of ice-cold abnormality, did not find Han Li’s abnormality, walked straight to the stone wall, and then frowned tightly gazing up.

　　”How could it be her, it’s impossible. But is there really such an imaginary person in the world?” Han Li completely stopped in his tracks, his face turning slightly white as he stared at the blue-robed woman without blinking, muttering incessantly to himself in a voice that could only be heard by himself.

　　Han Li looking at the blue-robed woman in such an uncharacteristic manner seemed to make this woman also sense something, and subconsciously looked back, just as Han Li’s gaze came together.
